6th engineer visit and bb still not fixed

Hi all, had broadband with bt for around 8 months, but we have had nothing but trouble with the router resetting multiple times every night, its happend approx 6 times from 5pm tonight. I phoned to cancel tonight as I don't trust this problem will every be fixed even tho I'm assured it will after every phone call and engineer visit(6 times). Every time the problem is located outside the house and it works for around a week then starts resetting again after it's been "fixed". Is there a way out of the contract as I'm being told I have to pay 300£ to leave even tho I'm not getting what im paying for...

@Rossjohn123 welcome to the community and thanks for posting, I'm really sorry to see that you've been experiencing ongoing issues with your broadband connection. It really shouldn't take six engineer visits to resolve a fault and I appreciate you've now reached the end of your tether with the situation. The mod team will be happy to help with this if you send us over your details on the 'click here to contact the mods' link in my forum profile. You can find the link by clicking on my username.

I assume he has VDSL Broadband in which case you can’t get SFI2 on VDSL, only on ADSL because it’s a Service Openreach charge Providers for and has different modules that can be included. This is because Openreach aren’t responsible for the ADSL Network, only the FTTC/FTTP one.

VDSL only has the SFVA, Superfast Visit Assure. That’s when it’s testing OK and within the speed range.

Then there’s the FTTC1 Fault. This is when there a hard network fault is picked up on the initial test.

There’s also the BT Infinity Broadband Boost. A lot of people think this is a fault report but it’s not, it’s a Service Based Solution Order where BT pay Openreach to try and improve the speed of someone’s broadband but it’s by no means guaranteed.

Also Openreach Engineers can only fix faults within their domain, aka the last mile. If the fault itself is on the Backhaul Network then there’s littl to nothing they can do about that, it’s up to the owning CP, who have a tendency to just push it back out to Openreach again to get you off the phone!
